Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted him of raping two women. At Jackson's trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of the crimes, he was convicted anyway. Why? The jury believed the testimony of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes. Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces. The number of people in the lineup, and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph, may also affect a witness' decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them. Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people. Psychologists decided to test this idea, and they discovered that it is not true. Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians. The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes. Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy, courts cannot exclude eyewitness testimony from a trial. American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve court cases. Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime, such as rape. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony is often correct. Although people do sometimes make mistakes, many times they really do identify individuals correctly. American courts depend on the ability of the twelve jurors, and not the judges, to determine the accuracy of the witness' testimony. It is their responsibility to decide if a certain witness could actually see, hear, and remember what occurred. In a few cases the testimony of eyewitnesses has convicted innocent people. More importantly, it has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people; consequently, it continues to be of great value in the American judicial system. Benard Jackson was found guilty by the jury because ______. A the victims insisted that he was the attacker B the judge believed in the victims' identification 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com C the police discovered evidence leading to his guilt D the eyewitnesses confirmed the victims' testimony 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。在第一段中，作者先介绍了一下Bernard Jackson的情况，指出在其案 件中，尽管有两位证人证实他案发时跟他们在一起，但他仍然被定罪了。然后， 作者用Why?提问，并在后一句直接说明了原因:The jury believed the testimony of the two victims...had attacked them，即陪审团相信两位受害 人的证词，她们肯定地指认他就是袭击她们的人，所以本题答案无疑就是[A]， 该项只是这一句中定语从句部分的改写而已。 第2题 An eyewitness' testimony is sometimes inaccurate because ______. A he is of the same race as the suspect B he is shown photos of many similar faces C he lacks the professional help from the police D he has a small number of suspects in the lineup 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。对应的信息位于短文第二段第三句:They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces(看到许多相似面孔的照片后他们 可能会变得很困惑)，其中的they指的就是eyewitness(目击证人)。 第3题 Eyewitness testimony is vital because ______. A it can be relied on to detect criminals in all cases B it is sometimes the only way to resolve court cases 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com C it is sometimes the only clue for police investigation D it is more reliable than physical evidences to a crime 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 推理判断题。短文第四段指出，尽管有可能不准确，但法庭在审理案件时却不能排除目击证词，美国的法庭几乎完全依赖目击证词来断案。在该段第三句，作者指出:Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime，such as rape(有时它是罪案如强奸案的唯一证据)，这正是美国的法庭不能排除目击证词、即目击证词很重要的原因，因此本题答案是[B]。其余三项都无法由原文推知:[A]项中的in all cases过于绝对，由常识即可排除;[C]项是对该段第三句的改写，明显与原文不符;[D]项属于比较，在原文中找不到出处。 第4题 An inaccurate eyewitness testimony may lead to ______. A the dismissal of the case B the disbelief in the court C the disrespect for the eyewitness D the conviction of an innocent person 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。对应的信息是原文最后一段第一句: ...the testimony of eyewitnesses has convicted innocent people(目击证词使得无辜者被判有罪)。这里所说的the testimony of eyewitnesses当然就是题目所指的an inaccurate eyewitness testimony(不准确的目击证词)。事实上，短文所用的Benard Jackson的遭遇就是一个这样的例子，因此本题无疑应当选[D]。其余三项中，dismissal(驳回)、disbelief(不相信)和 disrespect(不尊重)都属于原文未提及的内容。 第5题 From the text we know that ______. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com A eyewitness testimony plays an essential part in the US court trial B police identification is more reliable than that of the ordinary people C crime victims often fail to give positive identification of the suspects D the jury relies more on the judge than on the eyewitness for a decision 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。短文最后一句明确指出:it continues to be of great value in the American judicial system(它在美国司法体系中仍然起着重要的作用)，其主语 it指的就是短文主旨eyewitness testimony(目击证词)，而[A]项中的play an essential part实际上就是对该句中be of great value的同义表达，因此该 项就是本题答案。其余各项都与原文不符，也无法由原文合理推知。 第6题 The idea of helping people comes naturally to most of us. If we see a blind person getting off a bus, we watch to make sure that he is in no danger of falling. Members of a family help one another, with particular care for the very young and the elderly. There are many people who have nobody near to see their need for help and often nobody to give it even when the need is known. The old, the handicapped, the homeless and friendless — these are the people for whom help may not come, because nobody sees. It may not have occurred to you that you are in a position to help. Community service means helping the people around you. Organizations exist which try to make sure that someone sees when help is needed and does something about it. These organizations depend on voluntary help to carry out a wide variety of tasks, volunteers giving up a little of their spare time to lend a hand. If you wish to take part in this worthwhile activity, what sort of things would you do? Think of the people most in need of help and the ways in which help can be given. Much of the work of community service is concerned with the care of the elderly and the handicapped. Old people cannot always redecorate their homes. Household repairs, cleaning, preparing food or taking care of the garden may all prove difficult. Elderly people with failing eyesight are delighted if a friend comes in to read or to write letters for them. A helping hand and a friendly face can mean a great deal to a lonely elderly person. Handicapped people may be young or old. People confined to wheelchairs 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com cannot go out unless somebody takes them. Blind children may love swimming but they need a sighted swimmer to go with them. Some handicapped people may be unable to go out at all and a visitor is then more than welcome. Voluntary help is needed in hospitals. There are library and shop trolleys to be taken round the wards and at Christmas time decorations to be put up and parties and concerts to be organized. Some volunteers help to run playgrounds for young children during school holidays and also look after children in preschool play groups. What do you do if you want to help? Your school may have contact with an outside organization or, indeed, run a community service scheme itself. In many towns there is a committee called the Council of Social Service or the Guild of Social Welfare and they will be able to tell you about voluntary activities in the area. The Citizens' Advice Bureau and the Women's Royal Voluntary Service are other sources of information, as is the public library. Churches, the Scouts and other youth organizations can tell you about their activities. Most large cities in the United Kingdom have youth groups for community service, for it is here that the need is greatest. If you join such a group, you will bring pleasure and hope to people who need your help. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to explain ______. A why it is necessary for us to help others B who can help others C who most need help D what community service is 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 主旨题。文章从帮助别人是我们的一种自然想法、需要帮助的人有很多等入手， 引出了community service(社会服务)这一概念，介绍了社会服务的组织构成和 运作方式，以及读者如何参与社会服务等内容，因此[D]最能概括全文主旨。其 余三项都只是文章的部分内容。 第7题 The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ______. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com A many people need help, but nobody sees and gives it B the organizations must depend on voluntary help C special help should be given to those who cannot easily give help D it is necessary to form organizations to give help to those who need it 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 主旨题。第二段首先指出需要帮助的人很多，但没有人去帮助或者注意到他们需 要帮助，然后引出了社会服务的概念，介绍了社会服务机构的功能和运作方式。 由两者之间的逻辑关系可以推知，后者的出现正是为了解决前面所说的问题，说 明的是这种机构出现的必要性，因此本题答案选[D]。 第8题 Which of the following statements is NOT true? A The work of community service takes volunteers little time. B It is natural for most people to help others. C Voluntary help is needed in many places. D Community service means a lot to those who need help. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。本题为细节比对题。[A]中的little time与第二段最后一句中的a little意思相反，因此是本题答案。其余三项都与文意相符。 第9题 Those who most need help from community service are ______. A the old and young 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B the old and handicapped C the homeless and friendless D old women 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。第三段第二句指出，如果想参与社会服务，首先要考虑哪些人最需要帮助及如何帮助他们。紧接着第三句对前一个问题进行了说明:Much of the work...the elderly and the handicapped，即这两种人最需要帮助，所以社会服务的大部分工作都集中在对这两种人的护理上，故选[B]。 第10题 If you want to lend a hand and need the necessary information, you may go to ______. A your school B a social service committee C the Citizens' Advice Bureau D any of the above 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。文章最后一段指出了想参与社会服务的志愿者获得相关信息的渠道。对照四个选项，发现[A]、[B]、[C]三项都在该段中提到了，因此答案是[D]。 三、Writing(本大题2小题(每题15.0分，共30.0分。You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2( ) 第1题 Your American friend Peter Jones is coming to your hometown for a one-week visit.

My hometown is a beautiful town in south China. Because it is summer now and I'm afraid it is a little hot here, you needn't bring much clothes.

When you are here, you can stay at my home. During your holiday, we will visit some historical spots in my hometown and do some sightseeing in the country afterwards. We'll take pictures and have picnics. You'll make many friends here! Thank you for your letter and I can hardly wait for your arrival!

What does the chart tell you about?

The total investment has been increasing steadily and quickly from 2002 to 2006. After 2003, each year saw an increase of 100 billions or more over the previous year. The present investment shows as high as more than 500 billion on the fixed assets. And we have every reason to believe that the increase will go on in the following several years. In my opinion, the reason for this increase is China's rapid development. With the change of the country's policy on housing and the increase of urban residents' income, more and more people can afford to buy their own houses. Some people even buy two or more houses because they regard buying houses as a way of profitable investment. Nowadays people have learned to invest their money on fixed assets, stocks, etc. instead of depositing all their money in the banks as before. [本题分数]: 15.0 分 【答案解析】 [写作要点] (i) 仔细研读图表，抓住图表中能体现写作主旨、发展或变化趋势的重要信 息。 (ii) 按试题要求和表达要点、写作主旨对图表进行描述，说明图表中反映的 趋势，并对产生这一趋势的可能原因进行解释说明。 (iii) 按照逻辑顺序进行说明和图表解读，运用恰当的衔接手法。 none、四(共Reading Comprehension(子母填空)小题,5共分)5.0 第1题 Abbey: You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are! Marlin: I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel of when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly. Maggie: During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It's not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. " Belinda: If you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you tuck a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse. Wood: I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health. Statements [A] Being on a diet is a torture.

[E] Dieting enables people to eat more than they need. [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries. [G] Dieting does more harm than good to one's health. Abbey 【正确答案】: [F] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 通读其发言可知，Abbey并没有涉及自己，谈论的主要是自己对于节食者的观感。由其中的forever consulting、gazing at themselves、spend a lifetime fighting等词汇及最后一句中的a miserable lot可知她认为节食带给节食者的是无尽的烦恼，与[F]的意思一致。 第2题 Marlin 【正确答案】: [B] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 Marlin谈论的主要是自己节食后的感受。由其中的don't eat animal foods可知她是素食者，而由她所用的褒义排比句可知她对节食持的是正面的、赞成的态度。结合这两个方面可知本题答案是[B]。 第3题 Maggie 【正确答案】: 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com [C] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 Maggie谈论的主要是自己节食后体重的变化和自己的感受。由其中的lost all that extra weight可知本题应选与之相同的[C]。 第4题 Belinda 【正确答案】: [A] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 Belinda是从另外一个角度来看待节食的。她在第一段指出节食与快乐不可能兼得，在第二段生动地描述了节食者在看到别人痛快地吃喝时的难受感。综合起来，可知她认为节食是一种折磨，选[A]。 第5题 Wood 【正确答案】: [D] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 Wood对于节食也是持肯定态度的。他首先交代了自己节食的原因是医生说他有高血压;然后简要说明了自己的节食情况;在最后一句则肯定说自己得到的是宝贵的健康。五人中只有他是从健康角度来谈论节食的，因此答案是[D]。 五、Listening Comprehension(共25小题,共25.0分) 第1题 What does the man imply about Mary?

M: But she has to work that week, doesn't she? 本题属于推断题。在对话中，女士先指出Mary坚持说要出席她的毕业典礼， 而男士回答说她(即Mary)那一周必须工作。从其回答和反意问句所用的降调语 气可知，男士的意思就是Mary肯定来不了，故答案是[A]。 第2题 What are the two speakers talking about?

W: Well, the colors are a little strange, don't you think? M: Ah, yes. That's the point. It's called Colors. W: Oh, yes, I see. Well, it's not quite my cup of tea — but then we all have different tastes, don't we? 本题属于判断对话主旨的题目。对话中男士首先征询女士对其新画作(my new 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com painting)的意见，实际上就是限定了对话的话题和主旨。然后女士的回答中才提到colors(色彩)一词，接下来的一个话轮就讨论了colors的问题。因此他们讨论的实际上是一幅画(的色彩)，故答案是[D]。有的考生就是只注意到了对话中多次出现的colors一词，而误选了[A]项。 第3题 Where is the conversation taking place? A In a bank. B In the office. C At Mr Zhang's home. D On the telephone. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Is Mr Zhang in? W: No, he is out. Who is this speaking, please?

B Not mention the thing to the Johnson's. C Have a call to the Johnson's.

Do you know their address? W: No, but I'd rather they didn't come. I think their coming will bother you. 本题属于推断题。对话中男士提出想请Johnson一家来参加晚会，并询问女 士地址。而女士则用虚拟句表达了自己的反对，并且直接指出Johnson一家可能 会给男士带来不便。由此可以推知女士是不会去请Johnson一家的，与此相符的 是[B]项。 第5题 What conclusion can be drawn from this conversation? A It is not so hot as the woman expected. B The weather is in fact very good here. C Many people have moved to the city because of the weather. D It is very hot here. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Is it always so hot here in summer? I can hardly stand it. M: That's why so many people move to other places after they live here only for a short period. 由对话中女士所用的always so hot与I can hardly stand it可知天气热 得女士受不了;而男士回答说这就是许多人在这里住了不久后就搬走了的原因， 属于对女士疑问的肯定回答，所以答案是[D]。 第6题 What does the woman mean? A She says he should take care of himself. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B She asks him to buy more. C She says it is very cold outside.

It's freezing outside. 本题考生只要听清了女士最后一句:It's freezing outside(外面冻上了) 即可选出答案。 第7题 What time does the man expect the woman to come? A At sharp 2:00 p. m. B After 2:00 p. m. C Any time in the afternoon. D Before 2:00 p. m. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Well, let's make our appointment around two o'clock this afternoon. W: Fine. I'll come to your office either at two o'clock or earlier if I can. M: All right. The sooner the better. 本题主要是听清女士话中either at two o'clock or earlier if I can一 处所指的时间点及男士的最后一句The sooner the better(越快越好)，由此可 以推知男士希望女士最好在下午2点前与他见面。 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 第8题 What does the man mean? A They shouldn't ask for too much. B They should ask for three weeks to do the work. C They shouldn't push the projector buttons. D They should wish the professor good luck. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: If Professor Thomas is willing to give us a three-day extension to finish the project, maybe he'll give us a few more days. M: Let's not push our luck, OK? 本题实际上是考查对男士的话的理解。push one's luck是一个习语，指“得 寸进尺”，而女士表达的又是想向教授提出更多要求，因此男士的话与[A]的意 思一致。 第9题 Why can't the woman buy it? A Because the man doesn't like it. B Because the woman doesn't have time. C Because the woman knows he doesn't have money. D Because they don't have enough money. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I'm going to buy a new carpet. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com M: But you can't do that. W: Why can't I? M: We haven't got enough money. 首先，由对话双方谈论的话题(buy a new carpet)和所用的语气可以判断他们应是夫妻关系;然后，男士的最后一句话指出:We haven't got enough money，这与[D]项的表述完全一致，故该项就是正确答案。考生容易误选的是[C]项，但女士显然并不知道钱不够，否则就不会提出要买新地毯了。 第10题 What does the woman suggest the man do? A Go to the library to do the experiment. B Write the library research part first. C Test the computer as soon as possible. D Go to another lab. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Oh no, I can't use the computer to test my experiment; I'll never get my paper finished in time! W: Why don't you begin with the library research part? 题目问的是女士的建议是什么，所以考生的注意力应放在女士的回答上。女士用why don't you...这样一种委婉的语气提出建议，其后的begin with the library research part(先做图书馆研究部分)，[B]项只不过是将对话中的 begin with换成了write...first而已。 第11题 why does the man choose to take an evening course? A He prefers the smaller evening classes. B He has signed up for a day course. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com C He has to work during the day.

I would need it for the fall semester. W: Do you want a day or evening course? M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day. W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing? M: No. W: Oh! Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming. M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it is not on Thursdays. W: Well, there's a class that meets on Monday evenings at 7. M: Just once a week? W: Yes. But that's almost 3 hours from 7 to 9:45. M: Oh! Well, that's alright. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last? W: Mm, let me see. 12 weeks. You start the first week in September, and finish, oh, just before Christmas. December 21st.

M: Bye! 在第二个话轮中，女士询问男士需要的是日间课程还是夜间课程(Do you want 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com a day or evening course)，男士先做出了夜间课程的选择，然后明确说明了原因: ...since I work during the day(因为我在白天要工作)，因此[C]项就是正确答案。注意，因果关系是听力中的一个重要考点，听音时要格外注意since、because、as等表示原因的关键词。 第12题 what does the man have to do before taking the course of computer programming? A Learn a computer language. B Learn data processing. C Buy some computer software. D Buy a few course books. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 在第四个话轮中，女士明确指出:data processing is a course you have to take...，即男士如果要选计算机编程，那么得先学数据处理这门课程，因此本题选[B]。事实上，由于data processing这个关键词在对话中重复出现了，并且与问题相符，考生应能很快作答。 第13题 What do we learn about the schedule of the evening course? A Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 9:45. B From September 1 to New Year's eve. C Every Monday, lasting for 12 weeks. D Three hours a week, 45 hours in total. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 本题难度较大，需要考生综合几个话轮的内容进行归纳。在第五个话轮中女士提到了every Monday，from 7 to 9:45，在第六个话轮中，女士回答上一个话轮中男士提出的How many weeks does the course last这个问题时明确说明12 weeks，并进行了详细说明:start?September，finish?just before Christmas(December 21st)。整合以上信息可知本题正确答案就是[C]。其余三项都与原文不符:[A]项错在Thursday evening，原文中给出的是Monday evening;[B]项中的New Year's eve属于偷梁换柱，原文中为Christmas;[D]项属于计算错误，原文中说每晚3小时、持续12周，总共大约为36小时。 第14题 What does the man want to know at the end of the conversation? A What to bring for registration. B Where to attend the class. C How he can get to Frost Hall. D Whether he can use a check. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题属于明示型细节题，在原文倒数第三个话轮结尾，男士明确提问:Is there anything that I should bring with me，这与[A]项的意思是一致的。由于没有听清对话，有许多考生按常理或主观臆测误选了[B]项，但它在原文中根本没有提及。而在这个话轮中，男士明确表示I know how to get there，故[C]项不对。至于[D]，对话中虽然提到了checkbook，但这是女士对男士问题的回答而非男士的发问，故也不对。 第15题 What does the man prefer to work for? A A large company. B A small company. C A company of his own. D All kinds of companies. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 15-17 W: How do you like your new job?

It's much different. I like a small company because it's more exciting. W: You mean a large company is boring to work for? M: No, it's not boring. But a large company has too many people and because it is so big that two or three people couldn't possibly make all the important decisions. W: You see, small businesses have a common problem., only the two or three people who run it can make decisions, and the employees may not be very happy because they can't make decisions. M: But large companies also have a common problem, so many people are making decisions that sometimes it is a waste of time and money. W: Well, I guess there are problems everywhere. M: Yeah, but I still prefer working for a small company. It's more interesting and I'll keep more opportunities. 在第二轮对话中男士明确指出:But I prefer a small company，即他愿意 在小公司工作，选[B]。 第16题 What do they get the agreement on? A Al1 companies have problems.

A The man has been working in a small company for a long time. B The man used to work for a big company, but now he works in a small one. C The man works in a small company, but he doesn't like it.

Tell him we'll send him a present. W: All right. Diane's still taking dancing lessons. M: She must be pretty good by now. How about Tom? W: He's OK, too. He's having a part-time job at a garage now. M: Well, it's certainly good to hear your voice. W: OK, dad. Nice talking to you and give Morn our love. M: All right. Good-bye. 这是一段电话交谈。在第二轮对话中，男士问是不是有什么事，女士否定回 答后说:I just wanted to call and see how you and Mom are，因此选[D]。 第19题 Who was David? A Mary's boss. B Mary's brother. C Mary's husband.

A Two girls and one boy. B Two boys and one girl. C One girl and one boy. D Three boys and one girl. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 对话后面几轮对话中提到了女士的孩子:George，Diane和Tom，只有Diane属于女性名，因此本题答案是[B]。 第21题 What can be inferred from this conversation?
